Disable Self-Destruct

[Skyburn]

Unfortunately, not without modding.

You could assign the boarding defense ability to the Self destruct device and then mod a weapon with the damage type "Only security stations". That would damage only security stations and self destruct devices, allowing you to capture the rest of the ship.

Of course, it would be easier to remove the self-destruct device from the components list.

Remember not to edit the stock data files. Make a copy and edit the copy.
